“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Yet you still value the things you’ve lost the most. Because the things you’ve lost are still perfect in your head. They never rusted. They never broke. They are made of the memories you once had, which only grow rosier and brighter, day by day. They are made of the dreams of how wonderful things could have been and must never suffer the indignity of actually still existing. Of being real. Of having flaws. Of breaking and deteriorating. Only the things you no longer have will always be perfect.”
― Iain Thomas

“نحن نستحي من الأشياء الجميلة أكثر مما نستحي من الأشياء السيئة.”
― إبراهيم نصر الله, تحت شمس الضحى

“فقط لأ نَّني كبحرٍ

أغرقُ وأنجو

بمُفردي.”
― سوزان عليوان, ما يفوق الوصف
